Who I am
and why nuclear.

I'm an engineering undergraduate at Texas A&M, pursuing minors in mathematics and physics. My long-term focus is fusion energy research, because I think it's one of the only real exits from the civilizational rut humanity has dug.

The physics is extraordinarily hard, the engineering harder, and the timeline is uncertain. I find all of this more motivating than discouraging. Problems worth solving are usually difficult.

How I work

When I encounter some physical system, my first instinct is to try to characterize it, whether through instrumentation or intuition. I like to understand the world from as close to first principles as possible, building, deriving, then connecting.

I maintain an Obsidian notes ecosystem that connects physics concepts, engineering projects, and mathematical ideas across disciplines. This website you're reading is the public-facing layer of that ecosystem.
